How to Make Green tea Ice Cream Recipe

Step 1

Lightly whisk your egg yolks in a pan. Now add the water and sugar and stir.

Step 2

Place your pan on low heat. Then stir continually, allowing this blend to thicken. As soon as you see your mixture growing and becoming more solid, remove it from the heat.

Now get your matcha green tea and mix it with hot water. See how the powder green tea gains life as you gently stir?

Step 4

Pour the powder green tea in the egg mixture and whisk it well. Again, you are pouring hot liquid over your eggs so it’s important not to stop stirring. Next, place the bowl with this mixture in another recipient with the iced water to cool down.

Step 5

Add the whipped heavy cream to the previous mixture and stir well.

Step 6

Now comes an important part. If you have an ice cream maker, you must pour the mixture inside it, follow the manufacturer’s directions and keep it in the freezer.

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, don’t worry! You can still do it and we will explain how.

Put your creamy mixture in a large container and keep it in the refrigerator for two hours. Then remove the container, stir the mixture and place it this time in the freezer for more two hours.

You must repeat this step once or twice (taking the container of the freezer and mixing the ice cream), to prevent ice crystals from forming in the ice cream.

Let’s get creative!

Place some waffle sticks in your ice cream cups. Tropical fruits are a good idea as well. They bring even more colour and taste!
